Picking the Best 9mm Multi-Cal Suppressor
A popular value proposition amongst the new suppressor buyer and a contentious topic amongst the gun hipster. Let me outline both perspectives and you can make up your mind.
To the new shooter the multi cal concept is an intriguing proposition for someone who is getting their first cans and wants to cover as many guns as possible.

The goal of a multi-cal host is to easily cover multiple firearms with a single suppressor. That value proposition collapses quickly when a high-backpressure can requires you to spend hundreds on extra parts just to get it running properly across multiple semi-auto hosts. We are placing the Flow Range 36 Ti high on our list because it does low backpressure really well. It could migrate between a 9mm PCC and a 5.56 AR with little need for tuning.
While this is an ideal can for a 9mm PCC, it can pull double duty on larger rifle calibers, yielding moderate sound suppression. The light weight also helps with barrel harmonics, producing less POI shift than some heavier cans on the multi-cal list.

Dead Air
A popular choice over the past decade that is arguably overshadowed by newer low-backpressure technology. This can was designed with 9mm in mind, but its stainless steel construction means it is rated for countless rifle calibers. It is also modular, which is pretty handy.
